Here's a sample and a simple code, you asked..
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary
Public Class SerializeDemo
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim obj as New MySerializableClass()
obj.n1 = 10
obj.s1 = "Hello"
Dim stream As New FileStream("MyFile.dat", FileMode.Create)
Dim formatter As New BinaryFormatter()
formatter.Serialize(stream, obj)
End Sub
End Class
==========
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Xml.Serialization
Public Class SerializeDemo
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim obj As New MySerializableClass()
obj.n1 = 10
obj.s1 = "Hello"
Dim stream As New FileStream("MyFile.xml", FileMode.Create)
Dim formatter As New XmlSerializer(GetType(MySerializableClass))
formatter.Serialize(stream, obj)
End Sub
End Class

Serialization allows you to save the state of objects from memory to a storage medium such as files. You can also use serialization to transport objects and values across the network. To read the state of the objects or values that you persist or transport using serialization, you use another process called deserialization. Deserialization is complementary to serialization. The .NET Framework supports two types of serialization, binary serialization and XML serialization.
